Sheila Llewellyn: teaching
No full textSheila was born in Thetford, moved to Dursley and then to Cinderford by the age of 8. After attending East Dean Grammar School, she spent two years undertaking teacher training in Birmingham (to teach infants). She worked for three years in Birmingham (Marston Green) before health issues prompted a return to Gloucestershire to live and work.
She taught for several years at Coney Hill School, in Gloucester city, commuting each day from her family home in Cinderford. Sheila moved to teach at Walmer Hill School, remaining there until retirement at age 50. She was involved with the Guiding movement from age 10 (early entry to the Guides) on into adult life. Sheila was also involved with acting (Wesley Players, Cinderford) and the W.I.
She was a close friend of Elsie Olivey, who was key mover in development of the Dean Heritage Centre, Wesley Players, and Bilson W.I. etc. Elsie also undertook many recordings of older people from the Forest of Dean in the 1980s & 1990s which are currently in the process of being transferred to modern electronic storage systems. Sheila lived next door to Forest author Harry Beddington for many years, and also ‘knew of’ author Leonard Clark both of whom were from Cinderford.
Overview: The ‘Voices from the Forest’ collection represents a series of oral history recordings made between 2016 and 2019 (continuing) and funded as part of the Foresters’ Forest project, a National Lottery Heritage Fund landscape partnership programme. The recordings take a biographical, life story approach to discover the occupational histories of men and women in the Forest of Dean in the last half of the twentieth century. It compliments a series of recordings, made in the 1980s by Elsie O’Livey in the Forest of Dean, that feature the life stories of people in the first half of the century. The recordings are a rich source of material for social geographers, social and cultural historians and those interested in the history of the Forest of Dean and the broad occupational history of the area. The recordings feature recollections of men who worked thorough the last days of large-scale coal mining in the area, forestry related work and their adaptation to new modes of employment in fabrication and manufacturing industries. The collection has made a special emphasis on recording the experiences of women in the domestic setting, their experiences in the factories that grew throughout the period and the diaspora providing domestic services in London, Cheltenham and elsewhere. The improvements in domestic utilities, education and opportunity are reflected across the recordings. The recordings also reflect the economic uncertainty that existed throughout the twentieth century and the persistence of traditional activities such as sheep commoning, freemining and small holding that provided alternative forms of sustainable family living. The experience of major events such as the Second World War, post war rationing, and the Foot and Mouth epidemics are covered. The recordings were made in the homes of the interviewees and consents and permissions were in accordance with GDPR (2019)

Divided by Flesh and Pen: Teaching Medieval Manuscripts Through Virginia Woolf
No full textDespite the complexity of her written work, Virginia Woolf occasionally sought to “teach” the reader, as Sheila Heti’s new edition of How Should One Read A Book? reveals. Moreover, Woolf was keenly interested in the Middle Ages. This essay uses an unpublished story of Woolf’s to explore new possibilities in the teaching of medieval English literature. A syllabus, outlined at the center of this essay, details assignments that invite students to read and write across genres, disciplines, and time periods, taking up Woolf’s notion of what this author calls the “mystical manuscript,” or the text that comes alive in the mind. Through the fictional diary of Joan Martyn, Woolf explores the limits of the archive when it comes to access and representation. She guides both instructor and student through vivid scenes of public reading and domestic storytelling, suggesting that the keepers of manuscripts are often located far from the locked library
'What we might expect - if the highbrow weeklies advertized like the patent foods': Time and Tide, advertising, and the 'battle of the brows'
No full textThis essay examines both the advertising content and a discourse about commercial culture in the feminist weekly periodical Time and Tide. Taking a cue from Sean Latham and Robert Scholes's emphasis on advertising as 'a vital, even crucial part of the material culture that is the focus of the 'new periodical studies', I consider in particular Time and Tide's status as a commodity as well as a cultural object in order to tell a wider story about the relationship between women, feminism and the public sphere in Britain between the two world wars. Launched on 14 May 1920 Time and Tide began as an overtly feminist review of politics and the arts, directed and staffed entirely by women, and later evolved into a less woman-focused, more general audience journal, establishing a position among the leading political weeklies in Britain. As will be shown below, Time and Tide relied on women and the existence of a feminist counterpublic sphere to build its early readership base. But in an era still prejudiced against women's involvement in politics, Time and Tide was forced to compromise its overt identification with female and feminist cultures in order to secure its reputation for serious political journalism. In June 1938 the journal's founder and editor, Lady Margaret Rhondda, revealed in a private letter to Virginia Woolf: The general public is convinced that what women have to say on public affairs cannot have any real weight, so that if one uses many women's names ones circulation &-again-ones advertising are affected. I go through the paper every week taking out women's names and references to matters especially concerning women because if I left them in it would soon kill the paper. But it is maddening
Asymptomatic patients and immune subjects

An immune subject is a person who is free from virus infection. Both of these categories of people experience the limitations of government imposed by a pandemic situation, with one important difference. Probably only the first subjects contribute, in spite of themselves, to the spread of the disease and to the contagion of the people most susceptible to the virus. This implies that their detection is essential to limit infections. Therefore, knowing the characteristics of these people and those immune to the virus can be extremely useful in mitigating the effects of the disease and/or defeating it
